sotd

Server of the Day

Documentation: sotd_submission.py(8), sotd.py(8)

Installation

Both programs use Python standard library only and don't require any external dependencies.

Run the following commands if you're installing sotd for the first time:

# make user
# make install-db
# make install

This will create "gemini" user and group, install skeleton database and files and then install CGI application and email bot.

Email submissions

OpenSMTPD config file snippet to enable email submissions:

action "bot.sotd" mda "/usr/local/bin/sotd_submission.py" user "gemini" alias <aliases>
match from any for rcpt-to "sotd@CHANGEME" action "bot.sotd"

Suggestions:

• Install Rspamd to enforce email policies (see misc/rspamd.groups.conf)
• Install logrotate to setup log.gmi rotation (see misc/sotd.logrotate).

Submissions for new servers need to be approved manually by editing registry file.
